The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel efficiently ...

These methods are how the nuclear industry safely manages the 10,000 metric tons of spent fuel waste that reactors produce as they churn out 10% of the world’s electricity every ...

Thu, April 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors ...

IDAHO FALLS — Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride ...

The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN has signed a contract with Framatome to supply fuel for the BR2 research reactor, ...

Studies suggest that nearly half a million people died in the U.S. alone from complications related to pollution from coal-fired electrical plants in the 21 years from 1999 to 2020, yet nobody seems ...

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...

BWX Technologies has received a $174 million contract from the U.S. Navy to manufacture nuclear reactor fuel in support of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. BWXT said Thursday the Navy contract ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt instead of ...
